Abstract
The miscibility of dextran (Dex)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) in solution has been investigated in different percentages of the blend components by employing viscosity, density, refractive index and ultrasonic velocity methods at 30 and 50°C, respectively. Ultrasonic velocity and adiabatic compressibility against blend compositions were plotted and found to be linear. The interaction parameters μ and α have been obtained by using the viscosity data. The results indicated that the Dex/PVP blends are miscible in the entire composition range and it was further confirmed by ultrasonic velocity, density, refractive index studies. In addition, the results revealed that the change in temperature has no significant effect on the miscibility of Dex/PVP polymer blend.
